Mayor Adams appointed a transit advocate, Ya-Ting Liu, to fill a new role that was created by Mayor Eric Adams to improve how the city uses and manages its public spaces, including parks, plazas and streets.

From the article:

>She will also focus on citywide issues, such as helping to develop lasting guidelines for outdoor dining. Ms. Liu, who will work from City Hall with a team of four staff members, will take the lead on the mayor’s efforts to create and expand public spaces with $375 million in city funding, including reopening a popular skateboard spot below the Brooklyn Bridge.

I'm pretty sure that job posting was mostly a joke for press. Surely there are already a few people in the Department of Sanitation who have that job.
